The Punch digital archives are a rich source of poetry, issues of this weekly magazine ranging from 1850 to 1923 (copyright barrier). I and my fellow C. Fox Smith researchers were able to harvest almost a hundred of her poems from this Project Gutenberg website, poems which had never been republished anywhere else: Click here for Punch website!

There are some missing issues of Punch still but considerable progress has been made in scanning hard copy and editing the results. One can download just text or full pages with graphics.

Be warned that reviewing old issues of Punch can become addictive!

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
